Front: 20X8 1/2 | offset = 28.5
Back: 20X10 | offset = 35

Or close to it, More concerned about the front clearing the BB caliper.
I know rear will fit since I'm going from a 20X10 with 37 offset to 35.
I've been doing research here but Can't find an exact answer.
You'll have to contact the wheel vendor about brake clearance, be sure to send them this template if they're not sure

Which Lexanis are you wanting?
Those sizes will work as far as offsets, I'd run 245/35/20 front 285/30/20 rear.

Should be a pretty flush setup, here's one that's real close to what you listed for reference
https://www.myg37.com/forums/wheels-...ml#post3471382
That G is going to be 6mm further out in front and 5mm further inside on the rear tire. I think if you can find a 10.5 +30 that would be better w/ those 275s, or a 10" +25. Otherwise you may have to run camber a bit over -2 degrees.

Those will work although the offsets are more for a sedan. You'll probably want spacers on the back and I'd go w/ a +32 in the front.
You might send a PM to Diego@Vossen and see what other offsets he has in the Vossens you want that might be a bit more aggressive in back, like a +35 range.

hello, looking for some help on offset for 19x9.5 wheels all around for a X sedan with zero wheel gap on bc coils with no camber kits. I don't know what would be a better fit +15 offset or +20 offset all around? Can anyone give me an idea of poke and would I have to go lower to cover it?

Check this thread, ChinkyChoy has a few square setups similar to what you're wanting, I think +25 offset is about as aggressive as you can go without issues. Might even shoot a Private Message to ChinkyChoy for more specifics.

Well what kind of issues are we talking about? chinkychoy's setup is pretty mild imo and doesn't look like 5-10mm more would make much of a difference. I am just looking for a wide deep concave look all around.

His last set (9.5 +25) appears to be right inside the fender, if you think 5-10 mm will fit without camber or fender help, or stretched tires then your idea of mild is different than mine. He had some other pics of that setup that aren't showing up
So in short, the issues would be contact of the fender
Keep in mind the OEM X sedan wheels are 7.5 +45 so those 9.5 +25s are 1.75" out from those, and the 245s will edge it out a few more mm.

Well, I don't have a problem with camber or slight tire stretch. I like the low and wide look.

At least you're prepared to go that route, when I recommend offsets my default setup is~in-spec camber, standard mount tires, and no fender mods.

G/L w/ your setup, post some pics when you get it together.

Ok thanks for your help. Could I ask one more thing? What offset do I need to get this look?: http://forum.exotics4life.com/showth...edan-VIP-Style and http://forum.exotics4life.com/showth...-quot-FMS-01-s It says he's running 20x9.5 but what offset you think that is?

He's running heavy camber and the rim edges still look to be about a half inch outside the fender. Hard to tell since I'm not well versed on those hella flush setups. Probably in the +15 range
Might post that same pic in this thread and see where it goes~

Question

Hey guys,

I've decided to purchase 19" rims on my 2010 Coupe X.

After seeing a lot of these posts, Am i obliged to get larger tires in the rear compared to the front when doing so? I am not racing...

On every site i've been on they are recommending 275/35/19 in the rear with 9.5 offsets and 245/40/19 in the front with 8.5 offsets?

Is this correct? Can't I just put on 4 wheels and tires of the same size? I'm new to this...

Thanks!

Running a square setup on an AWD is the safest approach, you won't have to worry about slight diameter differences that can cause issues w/ the AWD system.
For a square setup on a coupe that's not lowered I'd go w/ 19x9 w/ offset in the +30 range running 245/40/19 tires.

For a more aggressive fit you can run something like Lt8ches' coupe here
https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ml#post3815735
His is on 18" wheels but the offset and tire sizes will result in the same fit w/ 19x9.5 +35 running 265/35/19 all around, but he is lowere on Eibach springs.

If there's a particular wheel or wheel style you like that would help to get you the perfect fit that you're after.
